Any of you guys know how to shrink heads to GI Joe scale? Are there any tutorials?

Thanks.

Easy:

Step 1: Send it to JFAK
Step 2: Done.

Seriously tho; one doesn't shrink the head itself. One makes a mold of it, uses HydroShrink to make a cast of that large mold. The HydroShrink then dries out and shrinks, then you make a mold of it at the proper 18th scale size. Then you make a proper hardcast from that second mold. It's *very* involved and *very* tricky to accomplish on top of all the regular problems with regular casting and molding; so JFAK deserves every bit of praise he gets for doing it properly.
